From time to time we need volunteers who are willing to be guided through a Focusing session by an advanced trainee or while observed by a small group, for training purposes.

There are three possibilities:

(1) You can have from 1-3 private sessions on the phone with an advanced student in training. After each session, the student will ask you to fill out a feedback form. Filling out the form in detail is your payment for the session. You also agree for the student to discuss your process with his or her supervisor.

(2) You can have your first Focusing session with Ann Weiser Cornell on the phone if you are willing for a small group of advanced students to listen in during the session. There are limited time and date opportunities for this; it is part of our Demonstration Phone Group.

(3) We also need volunteers to have a first Focusing session in person with an advanced student. The location is North Oakland, California, on two weekends per year. This is part of our course in Guiding New People.

To volunteer for one or more of these opportunities, just email us at info@focusingresources.com (please include your phone number and mailing address in your email) or call us at 510-666-9948. 

Note: We typically look for people having their first Focusing session. If you’ve already had one, you may not qualify for this opportunity. But you can always recommend a friend!
